Newbie question: how to make the macro do CTRL+V

[Mirella]

Hi heres a newbie question! I hope someone can help me.

i am trying to make the macro do CTRL+V and CTRL+X (paste, cut, copy)
but in the index looking for words like ctrl paste ctrl+v, cut etc I cannot find the code to let the macro press the button CTRL and V *simultaneously*. Ive been looking through all the help results where I get a lot of answers and code for more complex questions, but I cannot find this relatively simple question. can anyone help me?

(I'm not looking for a paste function but to simulate someone pressing the buttons CTRL and V at the same time. )

thanks very much for reading this!


mt program so far
key "here should all text be selected, like ctrl+a"
key "here should the text be copied, like ctrl+c"
key F7 ;; switches to secondary computer with multiplicity
key "here the text should be pasted with CTRL+V"
key F6 ;; switches to first computer with multiplicity

Open up Quick Macros and hit Ctrl+F1. Then click on the index tab and type "key" into the subject line. That should give you all the information you need with any other questions you might have on the subject.

key Cv

In addition to craig's response, you can also simply use a ' instead of the word key.

'Cx
'Cv

*Note: You can record mouse clicks or keys pressed by hitting Ctrl+K or by clicking the red circle, located in the upper right hand corner of the Quick Macros screen. This would also be very useful.
